Gathering the Threads

Greetings, one and all! This week was very productive in a low-key way. For starters, we managed to fit in three composing sessions, finishing off a few scenes. Next up, further breakdowns for the characters, establishing how many of each prop would need to be made, as well as breaking down how many of what broad types of costumes there would be. This last bit then fed into two production meetings on costume design.

On top of all that, Sunday saw all the new trainees together at last, along with the return of one of our veterans after six months away.








We reviewed the basic strikes, then continued on to parrying, integrating that with the number system we use for choreography, and followed up by the very basics of stringing strikes together. It’s quite gratifying to see them begin to get it, as it were, and start having fun.


Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
